SAFETY
SAFETY MACHINE OPERATION
OPERATIONS ON SNOW
Snow-covered or frozen surfaces are slippery, so be extremely careful when traveling or operating the machine,
and do not operate the levers suddenly. Even a slight slope may cause the machine to slip, so be particularly
careful when working on slopes.
With frozen ground surfaces, the ground becomes soft when the temperature rises, and this may cause the
machine to tip over.
If the machine enters deep snow, there is a hazard that it may tip over or become buried in the snow. Be careful
not to leave the road shoulder or to get trapped in a snow drift.
When clearing snow, the road shoulder and objects placed beside the road are buried in the snow and cannot be
seen. There is a hazard of the machine tipping over or hitting covered objects, so always carry out operations
carefully.
PARKING MACHINE
Park the machine on firm, level ground.
Select a place where there is no hazard of falling rocks or
landslides, or of flooding if the land is low.
Lower the work equipment and blade completely to the ground.
When leaving the machine, set lock lever (1) to the LOCK
position (L), then stop the engine.
REMARK
For machines equipped with a cab, there is only a lock lever on the
left.
Always close the operator's cab door, and use the key to lock all
the equipment in order to prevent any unauthorized person from
moving the machine. Always remove the key, take it with you,
and leave it in the specified place.
If it is necessary to park the machine on a slope, always do as
follows.
Set the bucket on the downhill side, then dig it into the
ground.
Put blocks under the tracks to prevent the machine from
moving.
